Answer
Yes, multiple Breakneck Mech units stack their effects, but with some nuances regarding how the keywords themselves function.
Deflect
According to RiftJudge FAQ #8475 and Rule 735.2, Deflect stacks.
- Rule 735.2 states: "If a Unit has Deflect, or has been granted Deflect, and is granted Deflect by an additional source, the Deflect Value of all granted Deflect keywords is summed."
- Since Breakneck Mech grants "Deflect" (which defaults to a value of 1 per Rule 735.1.b.3), having two copies of Breakneck Mech on the board means your Mechs will have Deflect 2. An opponent must pay 2 additional Power to target them.
Ganking
While the Deflect stacks, the Ganking keyword does not stack in a meaningful way.
- Rule 736.2 explicitly states: "Multiple instances of Ganking are redundant."
- Because Ganking is a passive ability that simply adds a permission to a unit's Standard Move, having it granted by two different sources does not provide additional movement options or benefits beyond what a single instance provides.
Summary: If you have two Breakneck Mechs in play, your other Mechs will have Deflect 2 and Ganking (which functions the same as if they only had one instance of Ganking).
